The day after New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony’s 30-point night against the Los Angeles Lakers ended after with a sprained left ankle, it remained unclear whether he would play in the team’s game Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

According to multiple media reports after the Knicks’ 116-107 victory Thursday, coach Mike Woodson described the injury as a "slight sprain" and said Anthony is "day to day."

Anthony's ankle wasn't X-rayed after the game and he wasn't scheduled to undergo an MRI, according to The New York Times.

There had been no update as of noon ET Friday, but, as NJ.com noted, there's going to be concern whenever an MVP candidate has a medical issue.

Anthony sustained the injury as he was driving for a layup and collided with Lakers center Dwight Howard. Anthony’s his left leg folded awkwardly underneath his body and his left ankle was pinned underneath him.

Asked if he had an issue with Howard's foul, Anthony replied: "I didn't even see it. I don't want to see it. Did they call a foul? Oh yeah, I went to the foul line. It is what it is. It was a hard foul. I couldn't catch my fall."

Anthony was on the court for several seconds before limping to the foul line. He then struggled to run on the Lakers’ next trip down the floor and motioned to the Knicks bench that he needed to come out.

On the next stoppage, Anthony, in obvious pain, according to the New York Daily News, was escorted to the locker room and did not return.

"Talking to him, it may be a short-term thing but not long-term," Knicks center Tyson Chandler said, according to Newsday. "Hopefully it's not too bad."

The New York Post, while noting the ankle injury, put it in perspective that when Anthony went down, what has been a remarkable season thus for the him and the Knicks could’ve come crashing down with him.

A serious injury to Anthony would’ve emphasized that the season is barely a quarter finished.

"I just took a hard fall," Anthony said after the game, according to The Record in Bergen, N.J. "It was one of those awkward falls. My knee, my ankle, is a little sore right now. That's it. They haven't tested it. (The doctors) did some manual stuff. Everything was there. Everything was good. (It's) real sore right now—ankle, knee, hip. It was the way I landed on the floor."

General manager Glen Grunwald, like Woodson, told reporters he didn’t think the injury was serious.

Still, Anthony was unsure if he would play Saturday, the second game in a six-game homestand, when the Knicks host the Cavaliers, with Kyrie Irving and Anderson Varejao.
